Jane Borden Book Signing
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011
7 p.m.
Charleston Gallery
Jane Borden will be in the Charleston Gallery signing copies of her new book, I Totally Meant to Do That.
About Jane:
Jane Borden is an author, arts-and-entertainment magazine editor, and comedic performer in New York City. Her first book is a memoir in essays titled I Totally Meant to Do That. Her humorous writing has also appeared in two collections, The New York Times Magazine, and Modern Bride, and on Saturday Night Live. As a comedian, she’s appeared on Comedy Central and VH1, and performs regularly in New York at storytelling, stand up, and improv shows, including the Magnet house team Junior Varsity.
About the Book:
Like Cerberus, a griffin or one of those joints near Port Authority that’s both a Pizza Hut and a Taco Bell, Jane is a hybrid too horrifying to exist: a hipster-debutante. She was reared in a proper Southern home in North Carolina, and sent to boarding school in Virginia, then a sorority in Chapel Hill. She next moved to New York and discovered that none of this grooming meant a lick to anyone. In fact, she hid her upbringing—it was easier than explaining what a debutante “does” (answer: not much).
Anyone who has moved away from home, lived, or dreamed of living in New York, will appreciate the hilarity of Jane’s musings on the intersections of and altercations between Southern hospitality and Gotham cool. I Totally Meant to Do That is a memoir in essays of Borden’s transformation from Southern Belle to Brooklyn hipster to somewhere in between, and also a love letter to the two homes she wanted and between which she ultimately had to choose.
"...a sweet reminder of what it feels like to be new in New York."
- Amy Poehler
"If you took Mark Twain, shaved the mustache, added lady parts..."
- Ed Helms
"Reading this charming and zany debut, I just wanted to hug Jane Borden."
- Gary Shteyngart
